Vmodded GTX590 will definetly go up in the next comp after I'm done with it because I just can't figure out what to do with it.

nice video, a lot of crashing/freezing but a good raw clip. Ill be using this for 3d benches.

I had to tape it raw like that because if I recorded the directly the crashes would have screwed me over. I plan to make my channel into a proper channel about OCing so you can expect more guides and other content to come with better quality.

cmon people surely this intel noob cant be in top5 superpi1m in the team.....

Nice

pulled out a better spi32m need to knock over a second off to get top5 H20, wazza helped me gain 3 seconds on same settings from before

also made a lil video of my sexy bench rig

Nice score also your rig looks like my one used to when I first got my WC loop.
I just got my replacement R9 290. I also got the parts I needed to WC the GTX 590 but I still need the Epower boards(goddamn Nvidia vrm engineers) and I got a case and PSU for a rig with the A10 6800K so I plan to do a video on just how fast you can go from parts to pressing the on switch and getting to BIOS.

i think we should have a lil in-house competition to get everyone interested again!

not many people posting in here, how can we liven things up??

 

[d1nky]

Ok because you all been posting so much...

Do we have the resources for this people??

February Team Cup Warm-up Contest

http://hwbot.org/competition/feb_teamcup_warmup/

 

[FireKillerGR]

Not really, but I think I can participate for Stage 1. Rest hw is really hard to find or @ebay if lucky

 

[Johni5]

I have a PII and 3d3 and SDRAM .

 

[FireKillerGR]

So bro, are u ready? Shall we participate?

 

[d1nky]

Let's do this!

If anyone gets stuck for some hardware I bet the rest of TPU could help!

 

[d1nky]

looks like johni5 has started the competition off.

if we get stuck for hardware i will start a new thread asking for others to help. ill even check on ebay for us.

i found a pentium dual core T2330, in an old laptop lol shame its not a II

got a question about volts on AMD. What is the absolute maximum for non extreme cooling. I took my 3960X up to 1.725v for about 10 minutes and it's fine(no degradation) and I heard AMDs are even more resistant to voltage so I was thinking about 1.8V for 10min if I can keep it cool. Because I'm aiming for 5.5+ Ghz on all four cores for a Cinebenh R11.5 and R15 run.

what cpu?

my FX-8350 could take around 1.75v on my loop and board, if youre running really cold then 1.8v for sure. johan on his saber and chvf puts in 1.8v+ with antifreeze and better than -15*c ambients.

depends on the leakage of the chip as well, but in general <1.8v with decent board and very good cooling.

i found anything over 25-30*c on the cpu fully loaded would run into stability problems, keeping it idle at like 10*c and fully loaded 0*c

A10-6800K on the Asrock A85X Extreme 6. I have some spare caps so I can mod the board for better noise suppression but I doubt it would help since an it's an 8+2 phase. From what your saying I gather heat is a bigger issue than voltage and I will crash from heat first. In which case I'll just skip over watercooling and do LN2 which I planned to do anyway but don't find as interesting as Air/Water.

AMD really doesn't net a whole lotta boints.Maybe FX for max freq global and the unlockable chips n stuff.There's a lot of boints in 775.Gah..and then XTU on modern Intel hardware.I hate XTU,the boints are so lopsided for that.

Well I just enjoy OCing AMDs more than Intels and I have a spare A10 so why not see how fast it can go.

 

[Johni5]

694D pro2 not work 2 Celeron CPU!!!Hmmm.2x 400 CPU but not see only 1 cpu.Why?

 

[d1nky]

see you got it working!

nice one jonhi5, great benching for techPowerUp! team!

 

[Scrizz]

lol, there's a club now?
I joined TPU hwbot a while back lol.
I've been inactive for the longest.

I did a couple of stock runs lol.
maybe when I get my new setup I'll bench some more.

noticed you submitting scores. Welcome aboard, TPU Hwbot has been quiet lately.

So I've been wanting to go sub zero for some time now but I can't figure out wether to go LN2 or DICE first.
As far as I can tell these are their respective positives and negatives:
LN2
+ easier to apply, more cooling capability, cleaner
- pain to store and aquire (linde gas cz never has enough dewars)
DICE
+ easy to aquire and store( can go pick up 20kg any day of the week), no cold bugs
- interface liquid makes a mess, more dangerouse to handle, worse cooling
So taking all that into consideration which one should I go with.

 

[d1nky]

Ln2!

I'm skipping dice, don't see the point in less capable cooling and lower scores.

I'm just so busy atm plus in debt

man we need to liven things up!!!
